[Race Control Operations](https://help.clubspeed.com/clubspeed-knowledge-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#race-control-operations) October 25, 2024 # How to run a race **Now that your customers are in the heat, let's get them racing!**     **TABLE OF CONTENTS** - [MANUAL KART ASSIGNMENT](https://support.clubspeed.com/a/solutions/articles/47001113465#MANUAL-KART-ASSIGNMENT) - [AUTO KART ASSIGNMENT](https://support.clubspeed.com/a/solutions/articles/47001113465#AUTO-KART-ASSIGNMENT) ---   ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/47018078988/original/Ysd75U3JZGBsDOMTClMrw9Xq0bgBw4OkJA.png?1585679902)   #### **MANUAL KART ASSIGNMENT** 1\. Click on Race Control in the menu on the left 2\. Click on the heat you'd like to run. 3\. Click on the first customer name  4\. Select all kart numbers as needed to assign to the customers  5\. Click Start Heat & let 'em go!!   **// See Video Below!**   ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/47018079000/original/KM1MbTmfT7iPJ6w50wuQ31cqMyeVU4AaQw.gif?1585679911) Once your customers are off to the races, you will see the Original Clubspeed logo next to the race you just started to indicate it is running. You can now click on the Scoreboard module in the left side menu to watch the race's progress. Your cashiers, that are scheduling the races, will also be able to see which race is currently running with the CSlogo indicator on the Venue.   --- #### **AUTO KART ASSIGNMENT**   Don't want to manually assign your customer to their karts, no problem! You can let the software auto-assign the karts for you. All you need to do is make sure the racers get into each kart in the order that they are listed in the race queue. So for this example, Christina will get into the first kart, Jimmy will get into the second kart, Mario into the third and so on... Once everyone is sitting in the appropriate kart, you can now press the Start Heat button.   You will be prompted with a warning stating that your customer's are not assigned any karts. Go ahead and click OK, to start the race anyways!   // The key to this Auto-Assign Kart process working is that each driver crosses the timing loop in the order they are listed in the race queue. As they cross the timing loop, the system will assign the kart number it has detected to the next available racer in the list.    // If one racer passes the kart in front of them before they cross the timing loop, then they will essentially be racing under each other names. This is because the loop can only assume the next driver crossing is the next one in the list.   ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/47018079594/original/VHeCZqeWeaGkr8iRyTnxX46aNJ5b5GTr4Q.gif?1585680201) -
